When removing the gas cap, there is always a lot of suction, even after it sits. Is this normal?

You are probably not going to find assembly instructions. If you can't find all the parts or screws then get another cap. Google " motorcycle salvage yamaha " and you can probably find one at a much lower cost than the dealer would give. By the way, forget any loose screws in the gas tank. The stuff can not get past the fuel valve and filter and are not going to hurt anything.
Please rate this answer. Thanks!

Therre is a vent from the underside of the tank to atmosphere. It may be pinched or clogged. If the cap has a vent it is plugged. clean cap in carburetor cleaner.

Your throttle cable is likely to be rusted. It can be saved with a liberal spray of WD-40 into the cable shroud and left to run down the cable inner. You have to remove this cable and hang up from one end.
Fuel residue is likely to interfere with the smooth operation of the carburettors. Remove the fuel line from tank, and remove drain plugs from carby's. Spray continously some Carburetor Cleaner (avail. all auto accessory stores) down the fuel hose till it comes out the base of carby's. Allow to evaporate and repeat. A full tank cleaning fluid is also available from most auto shops. Thoroughly check all rubber components, wheels and brakes before getting back on the road. Cheers
Testimonial: "Thanks for the quick response. I have checked the cables and they operate smoothly and have no rust. I also sprayed carburetor cleaner inside carburetor several times through drain hole but shaft connected to throttle cable still does not turn. I think I now need to remove the gas tank to get at the linkage and perhaps clean the inside of carburetors more throughly. But how to I remove the darn gas tank!! I have examined every thing I can think of but cannot figure it out. Any idea here would be deeply appreciate."
